Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) play an important role in the Dutch economy. They account for 60% of the added value and over 70% of employment. In addition, SMEs play an indispensable role in research and innovation, addressing major societal challenges (such as climate and energy), and supporting the local community (e.g. through sponsoring).
The government implements policies to support SMEs in responding to various challenges. This policy is outlined in the SME Action Plan. This plan identifies seven themes (human capital, financing, digitalisation, innovation application, regulations, taxation, and international trade). For each theme, a number of actions are detailed that the government, along with other stakeholders, aims to achieve.
Now that the SME Action Plan has been running for a year, the time has come to further develop the monitoring and impact assessment of this plan. The Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Policy has asked Dialogic to support them in this.
